Threnody

I recently premiered a new work created in collaboration with Mads Ward and Randall Smith entitled Threnody as part or a larger collection of artists in Shoreline Swell. It was an incredible show filled with artists from around the valley coming together under the theme of the Great Salt Lake. This piece was inspired by the history of the Jordan River, as colonists dredged and straightened its flow, so began the decrease in dissolved oxygen, increase in temperature, and eventual designation as an impaired waterway as all the diverse life it used to support slowly disappeared. All impacts ripple both downstream and upstream. “To be brittle and unbending is to be on the side of death” – Tao Te Ching.
